Intel Report, Sept. 16by Eduardo Vasconellos
September 16, 2010While scouring through the forums this week, I found a few questions that warranted answers. These questions are pretty common throughout the web, so, considering how frequent these questions crop up, I figured now is as good a time as any to track down the answers and shed some light on the situation, so I spoke to Gustav Halling, game designer at DICE, who was happy to answer your queries about Medal of Honor.
User Ctrl_ made the request
on the forums for a switch team function to be implemented to Medal of Honors multiplayer component. To answer the request, I found out that this feature wont be available. When joining a round, players will join a dedicated server and will be automatically placed on a team. If there is an uneven number of players, auto-balance will adjust the teams accordingly. If youre hoping to play with your friends, there is a play with friends option which will group a number of players together and will move them from round to round in a group.
However, for the PC version of Medal of Honor, players will have the option to switch teams, but youll only be able to do so if the number of players on a given server become uneven during a round of gameplay.
Our second question
from the forums comes from user DarthEclipse who asks what are all of the scorechain rewards? Well Darth, Im glad you asked. Mr. Halling was kind enough to provide us with the full scorechain awards list, detailed below.
